Academic requirements

Country and Region Index

This information gives general guidance on how qualifications awarded by public overseas institutions may satisfy the College's minimum academic admission requirements. Please note that requirements or acceptability may differ for specific or other types of institution. Programmes may also often ask for higher than our minimum requirements, due to the demanding and competitive nature of our programmes. Where requirements are expressed as a classification, please note that specific grade averages may also be required, but may not detailed in the index below. All entry requirements are devised by Imperial College London and are unique to the College. These requirements are reviewed annually and may be updated in September each year preceding the next academic year of entry.

Please note that meeting academic requirements does not guarantee admission, it is only one of the factors taken into account when selectors make their decision: other factors such as suitability for the course, proficiency in English (you will need to have passed a College-approved English test), relevant work experience and references are also important.

If your country or region is not listed, please contact the relevant admissions team for further information.
